Denon SC3900 Media Player DJ Controller

Denon DJ makes yet another amazing piece in the Denon SC3900 Digital Media Player and DJ Controller, and incredible controller and media player with a 9-inch active platter. Utilizing a completely redesigned High-Torque Direct Drive Motor that exactly mirrors the feel of vinyl, the Denon SC3900 brings home that familiar feel but with the choice of CD, USB, Software, or even a networked Media server as your source of tracks.

In a world that was once first dominated by vinyl, then CDs, and now the emerging USB and streaming devices, it's time to revolutionize the DJ booth, because right now as a DJ you make a choice between DJing with a turntable, a turntable and software, or a CDJ/Controller. No one device has ever managed to give you the flexibility to choose depending on your performance, style or your audience.

'The 9-inch platter makes scratch moves more nimble by being that little bit smaller, but maintains the perfect amount of space to grip it, scratching and mixing tracks feels no different than using vinyl.' DJ Switch, SC3900 endorsee and 3x World DMC Champion.

Years of development with top international DJs has allowed Denon DJ to perfect the platter of the SC3900 controller for use with digital media without losing that feel of vinyl. They accomplish this by making the surface of the platter a real 9 inch vinyl disc!

'Doing DMC-style hard-core scratch sets are made so much easier without worrying about needles and skipping records.' DJ Switch.

Playback and scratch tracks from a myriad of sources including USB 'sticks' or USB Hard Disk Drives via the top mounted USB port. This allows the move from venue to venue with just a single USB device and not a laptop or CD collection, although the Denon SC3900 DJ controller can also playback CDs via the front loading CD slot, giving you true flexibility of your media choices.

The Denon SC3900 media player also comes complete with the 'Engine' music management software that has been designed with players such as the Denon SC3900 in mind, allowing the ultimate in DJ set preparation, playback and control.

Prepare the perfect set in the studio or on a computer at home, then export it to a USB stick or Hard Disk Drive and have everything needed for your DJ performance in a device small enough to fit in your pocket. Then, when it's time to perform simply plug in and play, and even share the USB drive's files with up to three other compatible players over a network.

Once your networked players are sharing the music from one USB device, it's easy to manage you set via an iPad with the Engine iPad app. Engine for iPad seamlessly monitors your set wirelessly through a network - all via its large full-color touchscreen. With the Denon SC3900 there is no need to worry about computer or connection problems; should the iPad become disconnected, your music is still securely connected to the player via USB, leaving playback, and your audience's attention, uninterrupted.

Engine Software

Additionally, playback of files on your PC or MAC is possible with the included 'Engine' music management software which doesn't even require a high specification computer to work quickly and efficiently. With file searching speeds that leaves most other software standing still, Engine's power is achieved by leaving the intensive audio processing at the player so the software is free to run before, or during your performance, utilizing the full capabilities of your computer.

Hybrid MIDI mode has been a flexible feature and a great benefit to previous Denon DJ devices and it's no different with the SC3900. Complete with the ability to be MIDI mapped to work with a wide variety of applications, the Denon SC3900 controller can control DJ software utilizing DVS, without using time code CDs, making the SC3900 the most complete and flexible player Denon DJ has ever produced.

For performers who can't or don't want to choose between software, vinyl, CD, and digital media as well as those who want the ability to use one controller that doesn't rely on a high-spec computer to perform, the Denon DJ SC3900 is the player that you have been waiting for.

"denon sc3900"

Overall:
When i first bought these...i was always a lil concearn to feel of torque on the platter...again i'm coming off from using technics 1200's turntables so its pretty hard to compare.....but when i got em...i was blown away how great they feel the torque the response on the vinyl.....they are really great and feel pretty identical to 1200's!!! Highly recomended!!!!! Midi mapping is a awesome on it if u use serato (thats what i use can't relate to traktor)..... it helps get rid of dicers or n e other midi controller u use previous before. The nice thing is the whole layout is midi mapableso its nice to have alot of buttons to map out how u would like ur controll points!!! But all great things must have a lil downfall.....lol..... after using it for one month on a weekly base one of the denons (i own 2) just didn't power on...kinda odd..... i take really good kare of it n its protected by a coffin n all..... so i was a lil bummed out....but i contacted denon and they had me ship it back to them and had it back to me with in a week so customer service with denon was pretty steller n fast! The other down fall is the cue buttons....they are awesome for what they do....but i do notice that when u tap one from a certain angle or side it does not trigger the cue u trying to hit..... almost kinda like how peps where talking previously about the play button being rubber from the previous 3700. So i figured when the cue totally fails i'll send it in for repair because i use it on a weekly bases. But overall....the cdj exceeds my expectations from what i was extpecting.....i was scared it was gonna be like the numark ns7 for feel and they are nothing like it.....way better!!! Conclusion.... is i highly recommend these cdj's!!! I've used pioneer,numark, and technics slz1200 n actual turntables and these are absolutely awesome! Great Job Denon! U just won me over pioneer for cdj's!!! :)

"Game Changer"

Sound:
The sound is top notch. Denon is known for great sound quality. I use audiophile quality cables (XLO, Audioquest, etc.) for best results. Comprehensive XHD High Definition rca cable is a good inexpensive choice, $12.99 for 3ft pair. It is far better than the red and white rca tbat comes with the unit.
Feature:
It is full of great features. You can use it as a controller with any DJ software, play from flash or hard drives or just play CDs. The Engine software is awesome. It lets you control and arrange your library plus you can control it via an IPad wirelessly.
Ease of Use:
It is very easy to use and figure out.
Quality:
It is built to last.
Value:
Considering all it does plus the great sound and build quality, it is the best value out there. You can get a pair of SC3900 or SC2900 for the price of one CDJ2000.
Manufacturer Support:
Have not needed to call support.
The Wow Factor:
The SC3900 looks sharp.
Overall:
Denon has stepped up their game with this one. It is by far their best player. Love the rotating platter and versatility of the SC3900. You can play CDs, from a flash drive or hard drive and laptop plus switch between either with ease. I bought the SC3900 for it's rotating platter. I miss spinning with the 1200s and this is the next best thing, in fact better.
